Science is the practice of failing repeatedly but learning as you go.

Value experiences by how much you're learning, and if you're aren't learning, move on.

Cool innovation might happen in startups, but they often lack the resources or the deep expertise in the problems they want to address.

I believe there are a lot of inefficiencies in the way technical innovation happens.

There is no science in creativity. If you don't give yourself room to fail, you won't innovate.

I resist the idea of there being on-screen chemistry. I think it's something that people like to say without thinking.

Clearly, many branches of science need an exquisite precision of timekeeping and the infinitesimal decimals of calibration, so space launches, for example, are not scheduled for leap-second dates. But society as a whole neither needs that obsessive time measurement nor is well served by it.

Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same. Even in quantum physics, where phenomena are changed by observation, the way in which observation interferes is regular and falls within a limited range of possibilities. Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long.
